Description

Ingredients

• 1 small loaf Italian bread (sourdough or French works too), cut into 1-inch thick slices
• 3 tbsp. oil (safflower, canola, peanut or avocado), divided
• 1 large zucchini, cut in half lengthwise and then cut to ½-inch slices
• 1 red bell pepper, cut into ½ inch chunks
• 8 oz. heirloom cherry tomatoes
• ¼ tsp. kosher sea salt
• ¼ tsp. freshly ground black pepper
• ½ c. red wine or balsamic vinegar
• ½ tsp. Dijon mustard
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• ½ c. olive oil
• 4 oz. mixed greens
• ½ c. fresh basil, julienned
• 8 oz. fresh mozzarella balls (optional)
• 2 tbsp. grated parmesan cheese

Directions

• Preheat grill (spray grill basket with non-stick high smoke point spray) or grill pan (season with a high smoke point oil) to medium-high heat.
• Lightly brush both sides of the bread slices with 1½ tbsp. oil and grill until marks appear; set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the remaining oil with the zucchini, bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, salt and pepper, then toss to evenly coat. Grill the veggies on both sides (turning only once), about 4-5 minutes on each side; set aside.
• In a small bowl combine the vinegar, mustard and garlic. Whisk vigorously while slowly pouring in the olive oil until emulsified. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
• In a large serving bowl, add the greens, basil, mozzarella, and the vegetables. Tear the bread into pieces and add. Pour the dressing over top, then toss to combine. Sprinkle with parmesan and allow to rest for 10 minutes before serving.
